The Shepherd's Granddaughter

I think I have to dis agree to all the Jews out there in the world who think that "The Shepherd's Granddaughter" should be banned from school libraries. I didn't get a chance to read this book yet but by the sounds of my classamtes and teachers I think the book is a reasonable and descriptive book. I know that it may have a bit of a offensive side of the Israelis but it was just based on what they did during the past.

I know for sure that everyone knows that not every race has the same personality and same intrests. So why would you complain about this book when it's just based on the group of Israelis that like to kill stuff or is violent? When I read the summary of this book I didn't feel like this book was that offending at all, well just a little but not a lot. The Jews have to understand that this book was just based on the the Isralis that dislike the Palestinians and we know that not all Israelis hate or dislike the Palestiniansso there is nothign wrong with that.

I think that leaving this book in the Red Maple category is a good way to encourage more teens/children to read it so we can get more opinions about this also. It can help children learn about what is happening in the outside world. I will read this book myself now and see what else I will think about this book. You should read it too if u hadn't already!
